Privacy Policy
We at Broadmoor share your concerns about maintaining the privacy of personal information. The following Privacy Policy is intended to explain our information gathering and dissemination practices in connection with the www.Broadmoor.cc web site (the "Site").
Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to any information you may disclose publicly in any chat rooms, message boards, or similar web pages. You should keep in mind that whenever you publicly disclose information about yourself online for example, via message boards or chat rooms that information could be collected and used by people whom you do not know. In addition, certain message boards and similar user forums may display IP addresses along with the message poster's name and message. Broadmoor bears no responsibility for any action or policies of any third parties who collect any information users may disclose on the message boards, chat areas or other user forums, if any, on the Site.
1. Collection of Personal Information from Site Users. As a real estate development and leasing company, we may collect from you through the Site a variety of personal information in connection with your prospective property rental. Such personal information might include your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number and other contact information, information about your living preferences and any other information that you otherwise provide to us. Broadmoor does not wish to collect any sensitive personal information unless it is legally required to do so. "Sensitive" personal information would include information related to race or ethnic origin, age, political, religious or similar beliefs, trade union membership, health or medical conditions, sexual lifestyle and criminal record. If you choose to provide such sensitive personal information to us, you consent to our use of that information in the manner described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise described by us to you.
Broadmoor also does not intend to collect Identifying Information from users of the Site to respond to expressions of interest regarding our properties. "Identifying Information" is defined as a user's first name and last name, or first initial and last name, combined with one or more of: (i) a Social Security number, (ii) a drivers license or state-issued identification number, or (iii) a financial account or debit or credit card number. Should Broadmoor be required to collect such Identifying Information, it will collect and store such information in compliance with the encryption and security requirements of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' Standards for the Protection of Personal Information of Residents of the Commonwealth, 201 C.M.R. 17.00.
We may also collect and/or track your home server domain name, IP address, e-mail address, type of computer, type of Web browser, and aggregate and user-specific information on which pages you access. We may also place Internet "cookies" on your hard drive. Internet cookies save data about individual users, such as the user's name, password, user-name, screen preferences, and the pages of a site viewed by the user. When the user revisits the Site, we may recognize the user by the Internet cookie and customize the user's experience accordingly. We do not and will not use cookies or any other technology to track or report on user activity when they are not on the Site. You may decline Internet cookies, if any, by using the appropriate feature of your web client software, if available. However, declining to use cookies may impede the ability of the web site to function properly.
Some web pages of the Site may use web beacons in conjunction with cookies to compile aggregate statistics about web site usage. A web beacon is an electronic image, called an action tag, single pixel (1x1), or clear GIF. Web beacons can recognize certain types of anonymous information (non-personally identifiable information) on a visitor's computer, such as a visitor's cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page where the web beacon is placed. You have the option to render some web beacons unusable by rejecting their associated cookies.
Enabling or declining cookies and web beacons is within your sole discretion. Broadmoor accepts no responsibility for your decision to enable or decline cookies and web beacons through your web client software.
2. Use of Personal Data Collected. We primarily use the personal information that we collect from you in order to respond to your expressions of interest regarding our property. We may also use the information that we collect from you for internal purposes, namely, for administering the Site, developing and improving our services, personalizing the Site for you, analyzing trends, calculating overall usage statistics, and for feedback and content improvement. Occasionally, we may contact you to advise you of properties that we think may be of interest to you, or in connection with any other services we provide. We may also advise you about new properties or enhancements to current ones.
3. Sharing of Information. Except as necessary to respond to your expressions of interest, we will not disclose to third parties any individually identifying information, such as names, postal and e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, and other personal information which you voluntarily provide to us, except to the extent necessary to respond to your specific request, comply with applicable laws, court orders or other valid legal processes, or to protect the rights or property of Broadmoor, or to any successor to Broadmoor's business or any acquirer of Broadmoor's principal assets.
